Kogemyakina, research supervisor Kriviy Rih Economic Institute of National Vadim Hetman Economic University of Kyiv COCA-COLA: A POWERFUL BRAND – AN EFFECTIVE MARKETING STRATEGY Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or business to business. It's important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact. Brand looks like the relationship between a product and its customer. A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. Brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It's a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without. For the last several years, when we ask people to think about a successful brand, we often ask them to think of Coca-Cola because, well, Coke is it. That’s why we decide to investigate the world’s powerful brand – coca - cola.

Die Fußstapfen, in die er trat, waren dennoch riesig, denn Michael Schumacher hatte immerhin fünf Weltmeis- tertitel für die Roten geholt, Doch die Epoche Schumi lag zehn Jah- re zurück, und außerdem galten seit Einführung der 1,6-Liter-Tur- bomotoren mit zusätzlichem Elektroantrieb völlig andere Regeln. Ferrari war bei der technischen Entwicklung ganz vorne dabei und genoss einen klaren Favoritenstatus. Mit seinem ersten Sieg im zweiten Rennen für die Scuderia schürte Sebastian Vettel große Hoffnungen, doch mehr als zwei Vize-Weltmeistertitel hinter Le- wis Hamilton im überragenden Mercedes (2017 und 2018) waren für den Heppenheimer in den sechs Jahren nicht drin. In der vor- letzten Saison verschlechterte sich die Bilanz der Scuderia zuse- hends, und doch kam die Meldung von seinem Rücktritt Mitte Mai 2020 einigermaßen überraschend. Sebastian verhält sich wie ein englischer Gentleman, der mit steifer Oberlippe die letzten Grands Prix der Corona-Saison 2020 mit Anstand über die Bühne bringt und sich trotz offensichtlicher Defizite von Team und Arbeitsge- rät mit Kritik vornehm zurückhält.
